<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>Is there a way to make a portable version of QGIS3 ? i.e. unzip and run?</div><div>or for instance to install it on a network drive so other users on the network could use it without installing?</div><div><br></div><div>When I copied QGIS folder (under program files) from one PC to another it worked only if the path was the same, but I'm not sure if it worked because I had some other prerequisite preinstalled on that
<span style="font-size:small;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;float:none;display:inline">PC</span>.</div><div><br></div><div>When I tried to rename the QGIS3 folder and run QGIS I got the error message:</div><div>"could not load qgis_app.dll". </div><div><br></div><div>Thus I guess that the installation does something else beside extracting and creating shortcuts, could you specify what does the setup do besides that? I tried to look for some clues on verbose messages that the setup prints, but I could only find "Extracting", "Create folder", "Output folder".</div><div>Does it install prerequisites? compile something specific for my CPU? Change batch files?</div><div><br></div><div>Please advise,</div><div>Idan.</div></div>
